Different short term chart, mbtrading vs esignal, why

[Duval]

Hi,
When I chart forex with mbtrading live feed, on very short term time frame (like 30 seconds), chart is smooth, readable, with good candles with normal bodies.

When I chart same 30 sec chart, with esignal, chart is really ugly. Candles look abnormal, with huge legs above and on top of candle bodies.
This is particularly true when I chart historical 30 seconds data from esignal, when comparing it to incoming feed being charted live from mbt.

I notice also that price level on chart from MBtrading live feed shows like: 1.3892'9 when on esignal it never show a " ' " .


Any clue why such difference in charting ? I'd like to understand thanks.

Hello Duval,

Thank you for your post.

When a second chart is built it uses tick data. I have provided a link below to our Help Guide that explains why Historical tick data looks differently than Live tick data.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
